Contrary to my own long held popular belief – apparently I don’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder.Â For aÂ longÂ time,Â IÂ traced the explanation of my one-dimensional need toÂ train toÂ the notion that I must haveÂ theÂ mental problem.

This diagnosis can now be dismissed as Allison who is now studying psychiatry as part of a medical clerkship elective, told me that obsessive-compulsion mustÂ also accompany negative connotations yielding a negative impact on one’s life in order to be thought as such.
